Why not make covenant renown account wide?

That way if your main is Kyrian with a renown of 7 you can roll an alt join the same covenant and keep that 7, not have to start back at 0.

Really lessens the replay value, to have two alts in the same covenant.

Time gating.

More you play more you are subscribed.

I’ve been subbed consistently for 9 years. All timegateing does is make me more inclined to play other games

So you’d still play if you did everything all at once?

I know a lot of people who would do all the things then not play until the next patch, it doesn’t really retain customers.

This is my last 5 months, the only thing i wanted it’s to experiment the best mmorpg ever made… the community, the adventure!

And I didn’t find any of that in here.

At least I didn’t play for 20 years, so I’m able to leave this game.

The longest stretch I’ve gone without playing has been maybe 1 or 1 and 1/2 months but even then my sub remained.

Yes

On the other hand not having to log on and do a bunch of chores when you get a new alt to level cap might make people want to play alts more.

If your alt is going to be doing cutting-edge raiding or mythics or anything, they’re going to be doing a grind once they hit 60 anyway. Collecting 5 souls and 1000 anima every week isn’t going to slow them down that much getting maxed out on everything. They’re already behind the curve. If they’re not doing cutting-edge content, having a renown of 4 instead of 28 isn’t going to stop them from doing the content you want.

Next: there’s a practical issue with the “alts vs. main” argument, in that you could (pretty easily, renown isn’t that hard to come by) get an alt to max renown for each covenant and then start swapping your main’s covenant every day because they won’t have to re-level anything, as if the intent of covenants being locked in the way they are.

It’s week four of the expansion. Anima is already getting easier to come by (I’ve done three 250 anima reward quests in three days this week). There will be more catch up mechanisms as the expansion goes on.

So then what more would you do if you’ve done ‘everything’?

Or complain that there’s nothing to do because the game was “dumbed down” too much. The “there’s not enough to do” argument is WAY more popular than the “I have too much to do” one.

11

The same players begging for everything to be accessible day 1 would complain there’s nothing to do the day after they did everything.

Bingo was his name-o

Let’s just make everything account-wide so we can complain about there being nothing to do anymore and unsub.

Lol where is the money in that?

Finish the MQ and all the side quest, replay the MQ at least 4 times. Then get all my relevant alts to max. Then I just raid/pvp/RP/level alts/achievement hunt till the next expansion.

16

So what people do already even with timegating…

17

Ok… and your point is

18

Meh, you get renown on alts for doing random things as you play.

I got to renown 7 just leveling my alt. Then got caught up to cap by doing dungeons and the world boss.

How about they get rid of renowned and stygia and soul ash and all the other stupid crap in the game and they just make it how vanilla was. With some quality of life features in retail. And normalize all PVP gear inside of an instance.
There you go now wow is fixed
